Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

善良和同理心有时候就是在事态变化时候油然而生的，可能很疯狂但是也很无奈
3.5。看看人家在拍什么，再看看……别的不多说了，Sarah一哭我也跟着哭，朱迪科默演戏真是老天爷赏饭吃。
12 days quarantine 霍乱时期的爱情💧以小见大四两拨千金，故事的力量，演员的力量。Jodie实在是太会演了
中间20多分钟的“长镜头”，感觉观众就在跟前，摇晃的镜头太过真实，身临其境，紧张压抑的空间感和病情的急迫，让人窒息的爽，最后不忘骂骂帝国，也是欧洲一惯的套路，的确在疫情防控物资医疗如此匮乏，处置措施太tm操蛋的大环境下，骂一骂也是正常人的宣泄方式。
《援助》拍的是小小护工的无助和控诉，而《中国医生》在拍大国医护的伟光正，也难怪会被cue。
看过的第一部讲述新冠疫情的电影，没有什么高大上的人物形象，只有平凡人的恐惧无助和茫然，最后女主的质问才是全片最精彩之处。
这竟然是我第一次发现朱迪科默是个英国人………她的表演实在是太精彩了！疫情的时候我们在学校自隔，但因为生活在一个偏远的以老人和小孩及留学生组成的小镇，而我们又远离人群，所以对灾难中的一切只有透过社媒，当时听着这些difficult但volunteer 只有陪聊这样的有限的帮助，哎。希望疫情早日结束，and all struggling end.
少吃点！别把自己养那么大块头，等老了，人家都伺候不动。
B 以小见大，以疫情中的资源分配问题，点出整个英国社会所面临的现状。ps.想起加拿大疫情最严重的时候看到，CBC报道一家养老院，老人们因集体感染去世多天，无人收尸，现实未免也太残酷，希望疫情早日过去
新冠疫情袭击之下，护理院成为重灾区，成为被遗忘的角落，萨拉想救下一个人，可她的行为给自己带来麻烦。当疫情泛滥时，最悲催的是医疗资源不敷使用，你眼睁睁看着患者死去，或者，亲友眼睁睁看着你死去。
剧情有待完善，但方向是好的。起码敢问责啊！肯尼那一段看流泪了。还是爱朱迪演技。
态度真诚，直接问出问题，不是随大流和歌功颂德的电影，片尾三组数据展示让人深受冲击。
nobody is coming.医疗体系崩溃真是太绝望了
啾迪和Stephen Graham都演得很好 利物浦口音也是挺绝的 夜班那段拍得好 不要忘记 不要放弃 伸出援手 做个好人
人家3个人，15平方空间，1张床1部座机1部手机，体现出来的绝望感和个体意志，比咱们拍的所有疫情主题作品加起来都牛。
高潮那段长镜头绝了，就是结局飞越养老院转折有点生硬。
听小变态说英式英语真的变扭啊，有点用力过猛。
哭成牛，尊严是对生命更高的敬意，如果《中国医生》能理解这个本质关系，就不会把好政策拍成那种洗刷刷的感觉…
太勇了团队。
片尾怼脸特写质问zf非常有张力、过渡也很自然
